Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

As we’re slowly but surely released back into the wild, we’re faced with a new conundrum of what to wear for all our springtime socialising.

While loungewear on winter walks was once appropriate, now alfresco gatherings are on the cards, it’s time to look for inspiration for your next #ootd.

And luckily, you can find it while picking up your next food shop. Gone are the days of supermarkets being exclusively reserved for sustenance, with the likes of Asda and Aldi really outdoing themselves of late.

The latest spring-ready range from George at Asda is full of things you’d expect to find at some of the more expensive high street brands – namely & Other Stories.

The supermarket chain has really stepped up its game of late and even garnered TikTok fame when its gingham dress received rave reviews on the video-sharing platform.

As for its most recent drop, we expect a similar positive reaction since each piece looks far more high end than the price tags suggest.

So, to help you get ready for spring and summer socialising, we’ve rounded up our favourite styles. From jumpsuits to wrap dresses, these pieces prove that affordable, supermarket clothing is anything but dowdy.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.

George at Asda blush pink short sleeve shirred blouse: £12.50, Asda.com

(Asda)

With its shirred body and peplum hem, this short-sleeve blouse is a great way to dress up a pair of black straight-leg jeans (£35.99, Mango.com) thanks to its slightly satin-look fabric. This top wouldn’t look out of place at & Other Stories.

George at Asda black polka dot print wrap dress: £14, Asda.com

(Asda)

This dress looks similar to the one Holly Willoughby recently wore on air while presenting This Morning. As prints go, polka dots transcend trends and are a mainstay for every season. With a slight puff sleeve and floaty design, it’s an ideal dress for spring and looks far more expensive than its £14 price tag.
